Treatment of Metastatic Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor with KIT Exon 9 Mutation

Metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) harbouring a KIT exon 9 mutation is a molecularly defined subgroup with specific treatment implications. Management in this population requires attention to mutation status when selecting and sequencing therapy.

Clinical Scenario

This protocol addresses metastatic GIST with a confirmed KIT exon 9 mutation. Evidence-based guidance distinguishes this subtype from other mutation profiles, with dedicated recommendations for appropriate agent selection at each line of therapy.

Treatment Approach

Third-line systemic therapy with a targeted agent is recommended in this setting. The appropriate agent, along with its administration schedule and decision criteria, is defined in the full structured regimen.

Full sequencing, agent selection, and scheduling details are available in the complete protocol below.
